Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 170mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.

About the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170
The AirTAC SAUD63X170 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 170 mm stroke. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 1402 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, with no larger single-rod push value to confuse sizing. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because the rear rod protrudes, it can carry a switch cam or drive a second tool simultaneously. The 3/8 inch port matches the 63 mm bore specification. Without the -S magnet option, this specific SKU cannot accept magnetic sensors. For sizing, the 1402 N at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston, using the equal 1402 N force both ways to press and retract identical components.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts approximately 71 kg payloads vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the dual rods to prevent platform twist during travel.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a part forward on one belt while simultaneously retracting a return flag on the opposite end using the protruding back rod.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the 63 mm bore when your application demands exactly 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N; for heavier loads, step up to the 80 mm bore rated at 2268 N. A double-rod design is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, twin-tool driving, or rear-cam actuation. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 170 mm stroke, side loads are moderate, but always use external guide rails to prevent binding. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot host sensors.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB — same as SC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It delivers 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds both chambers equally.
No. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the load. If air is lost, the piston drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
